ovl: reserve space for the casefolded name terminator

ovl_casefold() allocates NAME_MAX bytes and passes that capacity to
utf8_casefold(), which also needs room for a terminating NUL. A valid
name whose folded form is exactly NAME_MAX bytes therefore fails to
fold, and ovl_fill_merge() falls back to comparing the original bytes.

For example, when two casefolded layers contain directories named with
255 uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters respectively, readdir lists
both names even though lookup treats them as the same directory. The
same names merge correctly at 254 bytes.

Reserve one additional byte in both the allocation and the folding
capacity so that NAME_MAX-byte folded names use the canonical merge key.
